All this was done during the absence . of the husband, who, on his return, slept with his wife in the room in which the body was lying. After murdering Sikora, Francisca went to his apartments and by means of keys taken from his dead body robbed his safe of money and stocks to the amount of several thousand dollars. The following day she and her husband fled and have not yet been apprehended. It is believed to passage they may have taken America. “KID" SHERIDAN DEAD.
